ANOTHER day begins with another goodbye as Kilmarnock say farewell to influential midfielder Liam Kelly.

Kelly completed his switch to Bristol City last night and with no Scottish Premier League matches this weekend, some more business could be concluded within the next 48 hours - including a quick swoop by Celtic. rangers won't be getting their Australian target though.

It’s time to take a look at the pick of today’s rumours and speculation in Transfer Talk.

SCOTLAND

ABERDEEN: A rumour is doing the rounds in the North East and appears to be gathering a bit of momentum now. Andrew Shinnie to Aberdeen? We’ll keep you posted...

DUNDEE: Barry Smith has told the Dundee Courier that a loan deal has been agreed to bring former favourite, Gary Harkins, back to the club.

DUNDEE UNITED: Meanwhile, down the road at Tannadice, Peter Houston was telling the Evening Telegraph and Post in Dundee that he is optimistic of adding ‘one or two’ new faces.

HEARTS: Andy Webster is the latest player to be linked with a move away from Hearts and, despite his previous experience in England with Wigan, both Wolves and West Ham are keen. If West Brom express an interest we’ll start to get suspicious.

ST JOHNSTONE: Dave Mackay must be one of Scottish football’s most faithful servants. Loyal to Livi, he’s now about to commit his future to the Saints. Murray Davidson is for the offski though and the midfielder won’t be on his way to Ibrox on a pre-contract, he’s heading south of the border.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST: Faddy for Forest? James McFadden is reportedly a target for Alex McLeish as his short-term deal with Sunderland draws to a close.

WILFRIED ZAHA: We’ve just decided to give Wilf his own section today. The latest news is that it’s now down to a two-way fight between Manchester United and Arsenal for the Crystal Palace attacker’s services.

ARSENAL: Arsene Wenger will only spend on an exceptional talent. Might that be Marseille striker Loic Remy? That’ll be £10 million if it is Arsene.

CHELSEA: (C)Ashley Cole to Real Madrid? That’s almost enough to make you veer your supercar into the hard shoulder and ask your agent if he’s taking the....!

ACCRINGTON STANLEY: They play at the Crown Ground, they have their own Ultras apparently and now the League Two minnows have James Beattie. On loan. Until the end of the season.

EUROPE AND THE REST OF THE WORLD

FRANCE: Andreas Laudrup, the son of Michael and nephew of Brian, is on loan at St Etienne until the end of the season from Nordjaelland and is apparently catching the eye with his performances. “It’s nothing to do with his name or family,” say the French club, “he is an exciting talent.”

UKRAINE: Shakhtar Donetsk have reportedly pipped Chelsea for the signature of Metalist Kharkiv’s highly-rated Brazilian, Taison. He’s set them back the princely sum of 10 million Euros.
